the dreambubbles were spat up by horrorterrors, in the furthest ring; both concepts with no traditional association with place or time. all sessions access the same furthest ring, because there is just one pantemporal furthest ring; ergo, any session could theoretically access the bubbles.
This is basically my rationale. Feferi struck a deal with the gods to make it happen in Homestuck, but if she was able to do it, so could another player.
Hey, chums! Here’s the next episode of Homestuck: Explained!
This time we take our first step into The Incipisphere, Homestuck’s main stage.
I’ll be honest and say this video probably won’t have much new information for you old hat Homestucks–but it should be a great introduction to the Inicipisphere for the new fans I am excited to welcome, as we get ready for the ancient seal on Hiveswap to be broken and a new age of the fandom, unleashed.
I’ve got a couple more videos down the pipeline, and we’ll be opening Patron voting on the next series of Homestuck: Explained videos within the next week, so stay tuned. That’s all for right now.
Keep rising!
i’ll let you know if i figure it out? mostly a lot of mixing swear words with things in this page and trying to capture the feeling he gives off in canon.
i think understanding jake’s motivations and personality is WAY more important (and difficult) than capturing his speech style though.
I’m not super sure I follow? Jude and Joey are–as far as we know, whether biologically or otherwise–Jake Harley and A. Claire’s kids.
John and Jade are ectobiological children to Jane and Jake through the machine John used in the Veil.
That would make Jude and Joey half-siblings to John and Jade. Again, barring further complications on Jude and Joey’s end.

since I’ve seen concern over the subject of renewed fantroll discourse in the likely event of a homestuck resurgence once hiveswap is out, here’s a quick fantroll guide for new fans:
- people can do literally whatever they want with their fantroll/trollsona. these are primarily for fun (especially for the younger fans!) and do not need to be graded for accuracy
- if someone didn’t ask for criticisms of their fantroll/trollsona, and you give it to them anyway in hopes they’ll change their character to fit your standards (even if you say “but this is what’s canon!”), you’re kind of being a jerk. if they tell you to stop and you keep harping on it anyway, you’re definitely being a jerk! no one is under any obligation to be accurate to canon
- if someone asks for advice on how to make their character fit canon better, go for it! but they don’t have to take it, and keep in mind that there’s a lot of canon up for debate (ex. things like god tier classes can have many interpretations!)
- if you want to make a character with candy red or lime blood go for it. if you want to make a character with rainbow or sparkly pink blood go for it. if you want to make “rare” things like mutants, fuchsia bloods/royalty, or lords/muses, go for it. if you want to adopt popular fanon like grub scars go for it. if you have more obscure/original ideas, that’s cool too. go ahead and make furry trolls with tails and paw pads if that appeals to you, literally nothing should stop you!
- take a look at what other fans are doing, and keep an open mind. you can always find something to inspire you, and maybe make friends too
- most importantly, have fun and let others have fun!
I agree that’s the likeliest scenario! It’s why I felt it necessary to explain how Roleplay works.
It’s possible Xefros’ interest in butlering is something he can develop healthily, and if so I’d expect the game to treat him as a Knight or Page in some way. As in, those would actually just be his class.
But it’s more likely, from what I’ve seen so far, that the butlering motif is something his growth is at odds with. If that’s the case, then while the butler motif may show up to begin with–probably with some links to Knights in particular–I expect he’ll later discard it as he overcomes that struggle and grows as a character.
It’s likely that at that point the game will also be showing us hints as to his true Class/where Xefros’ talents lie strongest.
So it could go either way currently, though I definitely think the second route is likelier.

Hey I totally forget if I already asked you this, but I was reminded by your recent post that I had a question for you about Sylphs and fairies and Vriska’s roleplaying.
Hussie said on his formspring once while talking about god tiers that “Vriska’s true form is that of a pesky, murderous luck fairy,” which seems to go against your theory that Vriska is unhealthily roleplaying her ancestor’s god tier and is not, herself, a fairy at all. https://classesandaspects.tumblr.com/post/130602203382/hussie-god-tier
How do you reconcile Hussie’s statement with your theory? (Death of the Author is an acceptable answer.)
If you did ask, I never saw it! I think I’ve seen this quote before, come to think of it.
I wouldn’t really use DotA to discard theories because I’m primarily interested in trying to understand the comic as cohesively as possible, and Hussie’s quotes re: mindset with developing it has helped me consider how best to read it many times.
I’d really only say that this particular quote kinda has to be taken in context.
The thing is, Vriska IS definitely a fairy for the entirety of Act 5. It’s coded into the language she’s presented with both textually and visually across the whole deal.
When I say Vriska is a “false fairy”, I don’t mean that she’s incapable of creating a version of herself that plays the role. What I mean is that the roleplaying itself is toxic and unhealthy for her (holding to her Mindfang persona literally kills her, after all), and so it’s ultimately discarded as her character grows.
The question for me is: why was that element so completely dropped later?
And why is the myth of the Fairy so consistently tied to the Maid and Sylph classes–with the exception of cases like Vriska and Tavros, for whom behaving as fairies ends atrociously?
Hussie has always been cagey about telling us exactly what’s going on. So weighed against the evidence in the comic, I’m inclined to think he’s just leaving stuff out here, given that this quote is from Act 5–before we even knew the Dancestors and could put this stuff together.
